Description
Weather: A Very Short Introduction by Storm Dunlop The weather has a profound impact on our daily lives, from planning a picnic to dealing with the aftermath of extreme storms. Yet, most people are unaware of the complex global forces that shape their local weather patterns. In this book, Storm Dunlop explains the basics of weather and its relationship to climate, discussing what causes it and how we measure it. He delves into the features of the atmosphere and how they influence the weather on the ground, as well as specific phenomena like hurricanes and typhoons. Dunlop also explores how observations from land, sea, and orbiting satellites are used to develop increasingly sophisticated long- and short-range weather forecasting, including ensemble forecasting.
